Capture: Two Tales of a City, in reply to Kumara Republic,
Please do not try to bend the Christchurch situation to any sort of ideological filter, whether left or right. It doesn’t work, and it shows a total lack of knowledge of what has gone on here that led to this, pre and post-quakes.

If people do not vote this time, it will be because they think voting will change nothing important to them.

It's hellishly difficult to get voters to turn out.

I think it’s a great shame that there seems likely to be one strong candidate. In order to have any show of unifying the city and the council members and staff, the next mayor must have a strong mandate from the polls.
And if Lianne Dalziel has no credible challenger it will be difficult to achieve decent voter turnout, and therefore to get people voting for the much less sexy but fundamental positions like community board members, health board members, and councillors.

Southerly: Getting There is Half the Fun, in reply to Russell Brown,
Soz, but my injured darling and I did actually laugh when I read this out loud.
Ditto for your post. Laughing with not at.

You’re so brave to tell this.I held my sides laughing – silently because half the household have been semi-poisoned by last night’s black bean chilli and have spent the night writhing or throwing up. I am feeling like incompetent mother of the decade, coming as it has on top of a five-week hell flu with complications for all four of us, my partner's redundancy settled Friday, and a litter of puppies born at about four hours’ notice to an old dog who we didn’t even realise was pregnant.
IMHO, A 55-hour trip with Bob and Polly looks sane and well-thought through. Enjoy the rest!

I like it that that the light I’m seeing as the pale part of the moon’s hemisphere is a tiny proportion of the sunlight that fell on the mid-eastern Pacific, Americas and Atlantic Ocean, bounced back towards the sun but was intercepted by the dark night-time face of the moon, bounced back to this edge of the Earth hemisphere facing the moon,
What a very amazing thought Chris. Imagine what that light has seen before it has seen us.
Thank you for your earth shine explanation.

That lazy New Moon last night was remarkable because though it was a silver sliver, I could see the whole sphere. It was as though there was a tiny glow of back-lighting.
